The Connection n: The ddistrict has ado opted the Nex xt Generation Science S Stand dards for its sciience program m. What follow ws is a listing oof all the high h schoool NGSS that directly relate to wireless teechnology and d the use of am mateur radio: HS-P PS4-1.

Use U mathematiccal representations to support a claim regardding relationshhips among the frequency, waavelength, and sp peed of waves traveling in vaarious media.

HS-P PS4-2.

Ev valuate questio ons about the advantages a of using u a digital ttransmission annd storage of information.

HS-P PS4-3.

Ev valuate the claaims, evidence, and reasoning g behind the ideea that electrom magnetic radiaation can be desscribed either by y a wave modeel or a particle model, and thaat for some situuations one moodel is more usseful than the oother.

HS-P PS4-4.

Ev valuate the vallidity and reliab bility of claimss in published m materials of thhe effects that ddifferent frequeencies of ellectromagnetic radiation havee when absorbeed by matter.

HS-P PS4-5.

Communicate teechnical inform mation about ho ow some technnological devicces use the prinnciples of wavee behavior and wave w interaction ns with matter to transmit and d capture inform rmation and eneergy.

HS-P PS3-1

Create a computtational model to calculate th he change in thee energy of onne component inn a system wheen the change in n energy of the other component(s) and enerrgy flows in annd out of the syystem are know wn.

HS-P PS3-2.

Develop D and usee models to illu ustrate that eneergy at the maccroscopic scalee can be accounnted for as a coombination of en nergy associateed with the motions of particlles (objects) annd energy assocciated with thee relative positiions of paarticles (objectts).

HS-P PS3-3.

Design, D build, an nd refine a dev vice that workss within given cconstraints to cconvert one forrm of energy innto another fo orm of energy.

HS-P PS3-5.

Develop D and usee a model of tw wo objects interracting throughh electric or m magnetic fields tto illustrate thee forces beetween objectss and the chang ges in energy of the objects duue to the interaaction.

HS-P PS2-5.

Pllan and conducct an investigattion to provide evidence that an electric currrent can produuce a magnetic field and that a ch hanging magneetic field can prroduce an electric current.

HS-E ESS1-4.

Use U mathematiccal or computattional represen ntations to preddict the motion of orbiting objjects in the sollar system.

HS-E ESS2-4.

Use U a model to describe d how variations v in th he flow of energgy into and outt of Earth’s sysstems result in changes in cllimate.

HS-E ESS3-5.

Analyze A geoscieence data and the t results from m global climatte models to m make an evidencce-based forecaast of the cu urrent rate of global g or region nal climate chaange and associiated future im mpacts to Earth systems.

HS-E ETS1-1.

Analyze A a majorr global challen nge to specify qualitative andd quantitative ccriteria and connstraints for soolutions that acccount for societal needs and wants.

HS-E ETS1-2.

Design D a solutio on to a complex x real-world prroblem by breaaking it down iinto smaller, m more manageablle problems th hat can be solveed through eng gineering.

HS-E ETS1-3.

Ev valuate a soluttion to a compllex real-world problem p basedd on prioritizedd criteria and trrade-offs that aaccount for a raange of constraaints, including g cost, safety, reeliability, and aaesthetics as w well as possiblee social, culturaal, and en nvironmental im mpacts.

HS-E ETS1-4.

Use U a computer simulation to model m the impact of proposedd solutions to a complex reall-world problem m with nu umerous criteriia and constraiints on interactions within andd between systtems relevant tto the problem..
